I often hear some preachers claim the ant-christ is already hear and I laugh, because the prefix anti means “against, opposed or opposite”. So when we read the Bible the first anti-christ people were the very Levite high priest, and all the Judean people that wanted Jesus crucified. Next we have Islam who disbelieve in Jesus as savior, and have been killing Christians for years and still do, so they are not only all anti-christ but anti-christians. Then there are atheist that are not only anti-christ but anti-god. Finally all the people with different faiths that don’t believe in Jesus Christ, are all opposed to Christ.

Let’s return back to the people of Judea, nicknamed Jews and why the majority disbelieved in Jesus because they were waiting for a Messiah that would free them from Roman rule and lead them into world dominion. Jesus came for freedom from sin not freedom from Roman rule, or world domination. Therefore to this day a Messiah for the Jewish people has never appeared based on the Jewish few of a Messiah.  

In Matthew 24:23 Jesus warns, “At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.” Why, because the Jewish people are still waiting for a Messiah, due to the fact they rejected Him the real Messiah. Now the false Messiah appears when the Third Temple is built because only someone claiming to be the Messiah and recognized as the Messiah, not some none Jewish anti-christ, can  enter the Holy of Holies of the Temple. Also the false messiah will appear as a holy man not some evil being. Which is another falsehood by most preachers. Once he has entered the Third Temple and is accepted as the Messiah will his turn nature be revived. 

In conclusion, the false messiah can only be of Jewish background and possibly even have actual Judean DNA. Not someone with ancestors who converted to the Jewish faith from Eastern Europe and Western Russia. He will come from those removed from Judea by the Romans after they destroyed Jerusalem around 70 AD and ship them to parts of Italy and the northern western parts of Europe. The possibility of the false messiah can only be alive if the Muslim Shrine is about to be destroyed so the Third Temple can be built on the foundation of the First and Second Temple. Therefore these false preachers are making false claims and are actual protecting the identity of the false messiah.

The Book of Proverbs was primarily authored by King Solomon. In Proverbs 1:7 of the King James Version we read “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Solomon didn’t listen to his own words. He became a great fool after becoming blessed with great wealth he married 400 wives and had another 600 concubines and building altars to pagan god for each of his wives, and concubines. A clear example of not fearing his God. Also setting and example for his son which was the result of God divorcing ten of the tribes of Israel. 

The ten tribes became the Samaritans. Jews are descended primarily from the ancient Kingdom of Judah. Samaritans trace their lineage to the northern Kingdom of Israel, which fractured from the south following the reign of King Solomon. They are the people that have lived in that area for thousands of years. While the the Tribe of Judah nicknamed Jew were remove from the Kingdom of Judah around 70 AD by the Romans. All a consequence of Solomon’s lack of fear of God. Notice the ten northern tribes and the land they occupied was never the land of the Jews. 

The reason for fearing God is to live a righteous life as to not receive a punishment. A kind loving God would be viewed as weak, something to exploit. While righteous power is viewed as evil, because it prevents people from seeking what gives them pleasure. Like Solomon they want to seek pleasures without any knowledge of consequences. People today view God as unjust, because He permits Satan to destroy the lives of believes through trails and tribulation while watching people suffer. Asking God for gifts and not receiving them creates a view of cruelty while witnessing others receiving blessings shows signs of favoritism. Creating views of why so many have come to disbelieve in God. In the story of Solomon people over look the fact that God granted Solomons request of wisdom in order to serve God’s people well. Therefore when asking God for gift how does it serve God’s plan and not yours. People seldom ask God for gifts that help to serve others. People need to view God as wise knowing when to give gifts and when to punish. 

Living with a roommate can be a journey full of surprises, learning, and growth. Now, imagine having a roommate who is always there to guide you, comfort you, and inspire you – someone who never leaves your side. This is what it means to have the Holy Spirit as your constant companion. In today’s world, where so much of our life happens online, the idea of spiritual online connections becomes even more meaningful. The Holy Spirit is not limited by physical space or time. Instead, the Spirit is present with us wherever we are, including in our digital lives.

Let’s explore how the Holy Spirit can be your online roommate, offering wisdom, peace, and encouragement as you navigate your spiritual journey in a connected world.

Embracing Spiritual Online Connections in Everyday Life

The digital age has transformed how we connect with others and how we experience community. For many, online spaces are where friendships grow, support is found, and faith is shared. But beyond human connections, there is a deeper spiritual presence available to us at all times. The Holy Spirit moves freely through all spaces, including the virtual ones.

When we talk about spiritual online connections, we are recognizing that God’s presence is not confined to church buildings or physical gatherings. The Spirit can meet us in a quiet moment of prayer on our phone, in a live-streamed worship service, or even in a thoughtful message shared in a chat group. This means that your spiritual growth can continue seamlessly, no matter where you are or what device you use.

Here are some practical ways to nurture your spiritual online connections:

• Join online Bible study groups where you can discuss scripture and pray with others.
• Use devotional apps that send daily encouragement and scripture reminders.
• Participate in virtual worship services to feel connected to a larger faith community.
• Share your faith journey through blogs, social media, or video messages to inspire others.

These activities invite the Holy Spirit to work through technology, making your spiritual life vibrant and accessible.
